1 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:23,000 Welcome to Remember 64, where this week we get Groovy and 3D. 2 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,000 Welcome to the show everyone. My name is David Pitrangelo and 3 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,160 I'm just a worm. A worm who likes to ride pigs, 4 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,560 shoot weird guns, whip my head at weird cows with rocket 5 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,120 launchers and super annoying alien creatures. 6 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,360 Or at least I think that's what I'm doing. 7 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,520 I think so because this camera that seems to be following me 8 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,360 around won't let me see what the hell is happening. 9 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,320 This time, of course, I am joined by Jiggy. 10 00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:22,640 Look back, Sir. Hello. 11 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,600 There's only one ego for this job and it's jiggy. 12 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,560 Look back. Let's go. 13 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,640 Love it, man. Love it. 14 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,920 If any of that makes sense to you and there's any kind of clue 15 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,240 in your head sort of mulling around here, you may have 16 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,600 guessed that we are playing Earthworm Jim 3D. 17 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,200 If you are the myth, the the myth, the legend, the OR I don't 18 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,640 know, the the man, the myth, the legend Earthworm Jim and now in 19 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,320 3D on the Nintendo 64. If you are watching, if you're 20 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,320 watching this version on YouTube, you'll see that the 21 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,120 that the logo has been popped up beside us. 22 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,320 But Berta, anyone that's listening? 23 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,720 Yes, Earthworm Jim 3D is what was next on the docket. 24 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,440 One of the reasons why is because jiggy yourself. 25 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,760 You went back and took a pretty deep look at the original 2 26 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,240 games. Let's talk a little bit about 27 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,760 that first, 'cause it kind of set up the set the stage for 28 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,520 things. And yeah, go for it, man. 29 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:31,840 What's what was that experience? So pleasantly awesome. 30 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:38,560 So I I had limited interaction with the Earthworm Gym series 31 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,400 before this. I did play. 32 00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:43,480 I remember playing Earthworm Gym one. 33 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,440 I don't think I ever actually played two. 34 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,440 Excuse me, but I played one as a kid on the Genesis and then I 35 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,760 had an I had Earthworm Gym on the Gameboy. 36 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,080 I think it was called A Menace to the Galaxy. 37 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,880 And that was, that was pretty cool. 38 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,080 And then I also had Earthworm Gym 3D. 39 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,480 Now, the thing about every single one of those games, I did 40 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,400 not beat any of them because they are insanely hard, and I'm 41 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,200 happy to say that that tradition has lived on since the 42 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,760 beginning, and Earth Room Gym 3D succeeds in that regard. 43 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,000 OK, Earth Room Gym One is probably one of the hardest 2D 44 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,240 platformers I have ever played. It it's wild, man. 45 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,800 It's wild. I remember as a kid I didn't 46 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,280 have it for Super Nintendo, but I knew or maybe with the maybe 47 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,600 they had it for it was out for Genesis as well, right? 48 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,880 Oh yeah, that's. What I played it on. 49 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,760 Yeah, OK, so either I played at a friend's house, I had it on 50 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,240 one of the two consoles. I don't remember. 51 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,560 I definitely rented it because I was like, this is goofy. 52 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,480 It's a cartoon come to light. I love this. 53 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,400 You know all that stuff is very kid friendly with the just the 54 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,360 way it looks, whether the gameplay itself. 55 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:02,360 It's another story. But there's no way as a kid, I 56 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,720 mean, I don't even remember. I mean I watched your video and 57 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,160 and and when you're, you know, playing through the games and I 58 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,000 was like, I don't even recognize some of these areas because I 59 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,800 don't think I ever reached them. Ever. 60 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,360 Yeah. You know, because there's no way 61 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,080 I would have been able to even now. 62 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,200 I don't like, how did you do it? How'd you how'd you do it, man? 63 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,800 Like I. Don't I? 64 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:20,920 Trial and error. I literally like this game. 65 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,240 The game's probably about two hours, I would say. 66 00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:25,560 I don't know, you could probably look it up. 67 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,480 It's probably somewhere. In the public right. 68 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,680 Yeah, but it's so Earth from Jim. 69 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,280 One trial and error, just literally going through things 70 00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,840 in the environment. There's only one thing I had to 71 00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:43,120 look up because I was absolutely just ticked off. 72 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,000 And for my video I did the Switch Online version. 73 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,240 So that is the Genesis version for the original and then the 74 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,880 Super Nintendo for the sequel. OK, OK. 75 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,560 And the Genesis version, on the, the level down, the tubes, you 76 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,160 have to get into like these submarine things. 77 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,320 And what they don't tell you is there's this little port that 78 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,520 has, like, if you line up perfectly with it, it shoots 79 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,440 oxygen into your tank and it gives you a lot more time to 80 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,920 navigate down these things. Otherwise, it gives you like 81 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,080 2030 seconds, right. But it doesn't tell you that. 82 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,520 And it's, it's one of those things I went past. 83 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,520 I'm like, oh, that looks like something that could put air in 84 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,720 it. But I tried to, like, maneuver 85 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,920 around it and didn't work. So I was like, OK, so I was 86 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,320 using the switch rewind function over and over and over to try to 87 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,640 perfectly run this as fast as possible to get through the 88 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,160 path. But The thing is, if you hit any 89 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,840 wall, it bounces. It like, ricochets you and it 90 00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,960 cracks at the same time. So if you bounce like five or 91 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,760 six times, it blows up and you lose. 92 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,800 So that I finally got to the point I'm like, I need to look, 93 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,680 how do people beat this? This is impossible. 94 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,440 And then they're like, oh, you have to oxygenate it with this 95 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,240 thing. I'm like, I tried that and it 96 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,560 was like, line it up here. And I went, lined it up and it 97 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,280 did it. So that's my experience with 98 00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:57,920 Earthworm Jim one. It's like that the whole game 99 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,280 you find just like you have to pay attention to the background, 100 00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:04,920 you have to pay attention to what's there, and that's what 101 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,080 you utilize in some way. Like, I got stuck in the what 102 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,120 the heck level, because there's a jewel sitting there and it 103 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,920 looks like something you can interact with, but you have to 104 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,760 land on it and run and it like, makes it move and then it like 105 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,120 teleports you. Oh, I know that. 106 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,720 I kind of remember that, yeah. How would you? 107 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,000 If that hasn't been a mechanic that was introduced to you in 108 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,520 any way whatsoever, or explained that that's what these gems do, 109 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,480 that seems like a ridiculous thing to even assume like it 110 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,840 really does, it's. Just it's just that it's that 111 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:41,960 whole trial and error and you're exploring, which I like. 112 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,160 I do like it. It was really fun. 113 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,240 Overall, I think I gave the game, oh gosh, what did they 114 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,920 give it? I gave it like a nine out of 10 115 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,520 or an 8 out of 10 or something. It was pretty high, which is 116 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:53,240 fantastic. Really. 117 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,560 Like it was hard, but it was really fun. 118 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,720 I really enjoyed it. The vibe, the characters, the 119 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,600 art, like everything is great. Doug to Naple did great. 120 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,360 Yeah, I think it's tenapoli. I don't know what. 121 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,560 Tenap Tenapoli. I wrote it down I couldn't 122 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,120 pronounce. It. 123 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,120 I had to look it up before I made my video, so I pronounced 124 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,960 it right and now I forgot how to pronounce it. 125 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,280 But I think it is tenapol actually. 126 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,440 But moving from earth from gym one to earth from gym two. 127 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,600 Earth from gym two is much more balanced much there. 128 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,080 There's a variety of weapons. The game plays a little bit 129 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,240 better overall. I think the experience in two is 130 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,800 everything I liked about the first one. 131 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,200 Less hard and more fun. That's so I put it as great. 132 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,200 Step up from that, yeah. And it's still, it's still 133 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,480 challenging. It's not like it's not 134 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,240 challenging. It's just not stupid hard like 135 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,880 the first one was. Right, right. 136 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,280 So. It was it was cool. 137 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,840 That's good so. That one I highly recommend 138 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,960 Earthworm Gym too. For people that want to dabble 139 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,000 in Earthworm gym do too. Just do too, and so. 140 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,440 Yeah. Did you have as much trouble go 141 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,280 back to one? Yeah. 142 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,760 Did you have as much trouble getting through some like 143 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,320 segments like I know you said it wasn't quite as challenging but 144 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,800 it was there was still a challenge there because when I'm 145 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,960 looking up like you're saying that like the gem thing is 146 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,520 perfect example of that all this trial, was there as much trial 147 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,240 and error into or is that one of the reasons why it was like more 148 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,400 fun? No, there wasn't. 149 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,840 I mean there's like, there's an element of puzzle solving, OK, 150 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,800 but not not like we're you're unclear of where to go. 151 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,280 Like in Earth from Gym one, you know, you never you might have 152 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,159 had those moments where you had to explore a little bit more, 153 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,679 you had to really think outside the box, but you never had those 154 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,600 moments in one where you're just like, frustrated. 155 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,159 Like, where what am I missing? You're running in circles and 156 00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:41,280 yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 157 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,360 And I had that constantly in one and two. 158 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,760 I I don't think I had it at all. But I I love two. 159 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,120 Like two was so much fun. And then coming off that, I was 160 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,240 like, man, I'm going to make a video 3. 161 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,960 And I really want to play this. Like, I never beat this as a 162 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,680 child. I never beat this. 163 00:08:57,680 --> 00:08:59,840 And I want to do it. I want to do it. 164 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,440 And so when you're like, what game should we play? 165 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,960 I'm like, I know what we should play. 166 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,680 I'm on an earth from Jim high. Let's do three and let's do it. 167 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,280 And you know. What I said this is one of the 168 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,680 games that I have 0 experience with. 169 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,760 I just know it exists. That's it. 170 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,560 I've seen the two different or three different covers that they 171 00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:22,160 released in Europe and North America and I was like, I know 172 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,040 what this game is, but I never put any hands on it. 173 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,640 So if anyone wants it, yeah. And then as a kid I can imagine 174 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,240 it would. It would be difficult, which 175 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,320 we'll get into. I never got. 176 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,520 Past the second boss. Second boss. 177 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,120 Yeah, that's fair. That's totally fair. 178 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,840 I I would probably remember that too. 179 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,640 What We'll talk about the boss. The bosses will be a a decent 180 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,760 part of this discussion. I I assure you everyone. 181 00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:45,440 So if anyone wants to play those those two and wants to watch 182 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,800 your video first, if you want to play through them first 183 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,360 Earthworm Jim on how long to beat Completionist which is I 184 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,400 guess getting everything five hours. 185 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,000 So that's the extreme level of it. 186 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,800 So you know four probably on average and then for two it's 187 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,200 about 4 1/2. So they're not hugely long 188 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,600 games, which for games that were on Genesis and SNES kind of 189 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,400 makes sense that that that's sort of the average earth room 190 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,560 gym 3D. If anyone wants to get into it 191 00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:14,200 and wants to get the sort of middle of the line main plus 192 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,680 extras, which is also like well, again we'll get into it soon 193 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,480 pretty much completing the entire game every last little 194 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,960 bit of it is about 12 hours. So that's the average what 195 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,880 people have have put in how long to beat to say this is what it 196 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,600 took me to do this so significant difference three 197 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,800 times different across of which it's the N64, it's a new 198 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,000 console, it's a new type of game. 199 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000 It's really not the same type of game at all I would say, at 200 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,280 least from my memory anyway. So that's just to see where we 201 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,880 are as far as how things are going here with with these 202 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,240 games, but. I want to say something, and I 203 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,360 want to say this Right now, Earthworm Jim 3D has a fatal 204 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,360 flaw. A fatal sin, if you will. 205 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:06,920 A sin that is unforgivable. OK, but it's not what you think. 206 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,440 It's probably not what you hear and I will save it till the end. 207 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:12,880 Oh, wow. So. 208 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,240 Stay tuned. All of that is to say that 209 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,200 you'll save it to the end. Yes. 210 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,480 Oh my God. All right. 211 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:20,560 I will not say it until the end. Wow. 212 00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:22,080 OK. Tease. 213 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,760 Tease ahead or what? My God. 214 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,720 OK. So I'm going to do a little bit 215 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,520 of history with the game. And that means we will pull up 216 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,960 the sound board because of course we will. 217 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,520 And that is. I'm learning. 218 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,360 Yeah, that's right, everybody. We're going back. 219 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,840 We're busting out the history books. 220 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,440 I'm going to do this again because I just want to hear it 221 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,520 again and do it properly. Let's bust out the history 222 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,680 books, everyone. I'm learning. 223 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,760 We're going to November of 1999, all right? 224 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,960 And we're going to and we're also going to Eat Cow, which is 225 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,160 funny. I think I heard that once or 226 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,640 twice in this game. Or maybe it was just in the 227 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:05,960 trailer, but the Eat Cow was actually from from the. 228 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,880 I think it was from Sculptor's cut from Clay Fighter. 229 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,040 I think it was from Sculptor's Cut. 230 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,280 I can't remember which one's which one's he in again, I don't 231 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,360 know. I kind of kind of blanked it out 232 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,200 in my mind. He's in both. 233 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:14,920 He's in. Both. 234 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:15,800 He was in both. That's right. 235 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,760 Yes. Oh my God, that game. 236 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,600 This game is just my mind is. Too much? 237 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,520 Too much, too much Earthworm Jim. 238 00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:25,040 Especially for you? Okay so. 239 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,760 I love Earthworm Jim. Earthworm Jim 3D began shortly 240 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,520 after Earthworm Jim 2. The development for it and what 241 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,960 I wrote here, was that the game had a drawn out development 242 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,640 cycle. So much though that at times it 243 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,760 was believed it would become vaporware. 244 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,960 Which anyone, if anyone doesn't know what that is in the sort of 245 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,960 development cycle and gaming world, it basically means it 246 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,000 would just disappear. Poof, poof. 247 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,320 Everyone would stop working on it. 248 00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:54,120 The assets would pretty much be erased or however that would 249 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,440 happen at that time and it would just basically be never heard of 250 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,560 or seen again. So little would have been worked 251 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:02,880 on it. At some points that maybe, you 252 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,440 know, there's nothing to even save anyway other than a few 253 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,680 code lines or something. It was initially going to be 254 00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:13,960 coming out for the PlayStation as well, but in early 991997, 255 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,160 which I think was just a few months into development, that 256 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,760 went by the wayside and they said this is strictly going to 257 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,120 be a Nintendo 64 game now. One of the things that I want to 258 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,400 definitely make sure we're we're talking about here is that the 259 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,480 original two were made by is it shiny entertainment? 260 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,760 Is that? The right shiny entertainment. 261 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,120 Shiny Entertainment made the 1st 2:00 and they were purchased by 262 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,600 Interplay. Interplay was a pretty big 263 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,760 company in the mid to late 90s as far as you know, purchasing 264 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,800 studios and developers and mostly a publisher. 265 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,280 I would say if you look up their games, we definitely played a 266 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,280 few of them and will continue to do that. 267 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,600 But they they purchased Shiny within that process. 268 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,520 Interestingly enough, Shiny said I don't want to make any more 269 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,360 sequels. They were just not in the mood 270 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,720 to make sequels anymore. So that on top of now being 271 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,560 owned by someone else, someone new came in and created it. 272 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:14,560 Now my question to you is we'll get into the details obviously. 273 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,520 Do you think if Shiny made this game it would at least feel 274 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:20,760 different? I don't know what it would play 275 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,760 like. It's hard to say. 276 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,320 But like with the tone, with the characters, things like that, 277 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,360 'cause that's like you said, the look of things in the first two, 278 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,920 that's a big draw to Earth Room Jim. 279 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,640 Just the the the sort of attitude of it, the humor of it. 280 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,440 That's one of the reasons why Earth Room Jim is so popular, I 281 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,400 think. I don't know. 282 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,000 Hey, let me tell you I I think this game has a lot of those 283 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,480 elements. I actually that's one of the 284 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,920 redeeming qualities. I actually think they got the 285 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,840 character of Earth Room Jim. The animations like some of the 286 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,080 things, like even the way he climbs on the ropes and the way 287 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,120 he like pulls himself up. It's straight up ripped from the 288 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,200 other two games. They translated it pretty well. 289 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,040 I think maybe the world's aren't as. 290 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,240 Well realized. They they they aren't. 291 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,040 They aren't all equal. I think there's some worlds that 292 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,680 do a pretty good job of capturing an earthworm Jim 293 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,560 cartoony, esque feel. But then there's some worlds 294 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,360 that are really big and just empty, and even though they're 295 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,120 not inherently bad, they're just they're just empty, right? 296 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,720 Right. There's not much to them, right? 297 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,920 But I it's one of those things I was pleased with and I think the 298 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,680 TV show might have come out before this. 299 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,480 Yes, it did. It came out two years before 300 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,280 this because this the development of this. 301 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,280 One of the reasons why I wanted to really make sure I mentioned 302 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,240 the development of is because it started to to be developed just 303 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,040 before the show. It was like the the sort of 304 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,560 character aesthetics and and the voice lines and and sort of some 305 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,480 of the some of the enemies and stuff we're supposed to be 306 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,960 coming from the cartoon. But it took so long and it was 307 00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:03,600 such a disaster to create this game that it came out two years 308 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,680 when from when the show began and the show didn't run that 309 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,160 long anyways. So it was kind of like kind of 310 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:15,000 felt like a not an afterthought. But they the development did not 311 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,520 go well enough for it to be, you know, a sort of shoulder to 312 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,960 shoulder release or even close to that to the show. 313 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,680 What's? It's interesting because I I put 314 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,720 out a little tweet that we were playing this game and I was 315 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,440 excited about it and I was like, yeah, yeah, you know, Earthworm 316 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,840 Jim 3D and. People's work. 317 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,240 Is that what your tweets are? Blah blah blah. 318 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,920 Blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah 319 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,440 blah earthworm Jim. Yeah, and people were kind of 320 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,600 surprisingly. I expected everybody to be kind 321 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,000 of just negative because this game has a reputation for being 322 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,600 bad. But everybody was kind of mixed, 323 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,040 like some people were like, oh, I really got, I want to go back 324 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,320 and finish this game. It's just really hard, which is 325 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,200 a sentiment I heard over and over and over. 326 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,600 But a lot, like some people said that it took too much 327 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,040 inspiration from the cartoon, which I thought was interesting 328 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,480 because I like the cartoon. And I I mean, as a kid, I'm not, 329 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,960 I haven't watched it recently. I don't know how well it holds 330 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,000 up, but I like the cartoon and I liked the aesthetic of it and I 331 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,560 thought it was pretty Earthworm Jim. 332 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,400 And the voice of Earthworm Jim is the same guy that voices 333 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,800 Homer Simpson. Right. 334 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,000 Right. So you get a lot of oil or 335 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,040 whatever, Whatever. It is. 336 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,640 But it's it's good. I mean I think the overall like 337 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:37,200 aesthetic animations, especially if Jim himself were right on, 338 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,400 right on for the money, like even his movement, the way he 339 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,440 runs, the way he jumps the roll, it's just it's very it feels 340 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,160 Earthworm Jim. So I'm I'm happy to say that's a 341 00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:49,560 that's a good thing they nailed. Yeah, I I think that's part of 342 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,640 it too. I asked that question previously 343 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,960 just because I was like do you think that would matter? 344 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:59,320 I I I think if the developers which was VIS entertainment did 345 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,800 anything correctly or did you know not anything correctly 346 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,360 because it's not all terrible. But if they did end up doing 347 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,040 something right or or top of the list of what they did right was 348 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,320 most of of that characterization of of Jim himself. 349 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,560 I would say I think that's that's fair to say and I. 350 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,040 Mean playing right now? This is straight up from Earth 351 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,800 from Jim Two. There's segments where you 352 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,000 inflate your head and fly up, and that's ripped right from 353 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,520 that. And it It's Earth. 354 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,000 It's there. It's Earth Room Gym. 355 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,800 It is. It is the creepiest 356 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,280 representation of him in this entire game. 357 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:41,320 It looks so weird. It looks his head the way that 358 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,280 they animate his head. Look, there's only so much you 359 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,440 can do. I understand that, you know, But 360 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,080 Oh my God, does it look like, like a like a clown? 361 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,360 Like it looks like if you're scared of clowns, you'll be 362 00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:53,200 scared of this. It's that kind of feel. 363 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,360 It's some sort of like this underlying creep to it. 364 00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:00,360 I don't really understand it, but yeah, so VIS Entertainment 365 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,480 made this game. They did a decent job with that 366 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,120 part. Like we're saying, they also 367 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:09,880 have an N64 game as well. It is the Tom and Jerry in Fists 368 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,680 of Fury, so that's a game that we'll hit at some point. 369 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,360 So they also made that game, which is sort of like a mini 370 00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:19,800 fighting game of Tom and Jerry from what it's. 371 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,280 Like that Powerpuffs game, too, Powerpuff Girls. 372 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,040 Oh, is it OK? It's OK, yeah. 373 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,040 It's like AI don't know how you like a 3D beat em up. 374 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,400 It's not quite a fighting game, but it's like a OK you're in a 375 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,400 room and you throw stuff at each other and. 376 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,240 I've I've seen a couple of videos on the screen, it's like, 377 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,400 oh you're in the kitchen and you're like throwing pots and 378 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,680 pans at each other and stuff which, you know, it sounds like 379 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,000 a charming idea. So I I you know I'm interested 380 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:41,320 at. Least. 381 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,520 So there's some charm. The Powerpuff Girls one was 382 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,640 pretty fun, actually. OK, if I remember it, yeah. 383 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:50,000 I mean, it's not good, but it's not like, you know, it's just 384 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,320 it's such a goofy concept. You're like, yeah, OK. 385 00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,520 Yeah, right. It it like you can do something 386 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:55,560 with it, right? Yeah. 387 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,200 Multiplayer. Yeah. 388 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:02,000 So what else was I going to say? Oh, so before we get into like 389 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,960 the game itself, more specifically, I want to say that 390 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,200 the series designer David Perry. And what was the other guy's 391 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,520 name? It was Doug 10. 392 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,440 Doug Tenapple. Tenapple Tenapel. 393 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:12,840 What? Yeah. 394 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,040 I'm pretty sure it's tenapple. Tenapple. 395 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,360 Yeah, that's. Either tenaple or tenapple. 396 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,880 It's one of the two. Pick your poison. 397 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:19,920 Caramel. Caramel. 398 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:20,800 I don't know. Yeah, right. 399 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:21,640 Tomato, tomato. Yeah. 400 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,160 OK, so David Perry was the series designer. 401 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:30,560 He sold the rights to to the company or to the to the the 402 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,080 rights of her throne gym and then they were sort of able to 403 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,520 do whatever they wanted to hear, which is why some of the reasons 404 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,800 why the cartoon looks a little different and why the game looks 405 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,440 a little different. It just is what it is. 406 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,640 In an interview from 2005, the two of them both said that they 407 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,200 went to VIS to talk to the company and sort of like almost 408 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,360 like, I don't know if they were consultants didn't say that, but 409 00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:54,920 they spoke to them and they said they were very disappointed with 410 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,760 the way things looked in this. So I think that, yeah, that sets 411 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,360 the stage for the rest of our discussion with Earthworm Gym 3D 412 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,720 Jiggy, I'll go to you first, overall thoughts without going 413 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,680 into sort of like major details and then we'll sort of breakdown 414 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,400 aspects of the game. What did you think of Earthworm 415 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,240 Gym 3D? So better than I thought I 416 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,440 would. OK. 417 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,680 So I I went in with this, remembering it was stupid, hard 418 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,920 remembering sort of the the base gameplay and everything. 419 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,880 And I expected it to be bad, I guess. 420 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,000 Like, not horrible. Like, it's playable, But I 421 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,360 expected it to be really bad, and maybe it's because that's. 422 00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:43,760 Also, what you heard too, right? You've been hearing that since 423 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,480 you were younger, too, Yeah? Yeah, but maybe it's because I 424 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,000 was playing the other Earthworm gym games that I was playing 425 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,880 this and underneath, like, I acknowledged that things got 426 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,040 frustrating right there. There's a lot of stuff that are 427 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,000 that is wrong with this game. But underneath I was having fun. 428 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,440 There was something about this game that I was like, there's 429 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,920 there's some solid gameplay going on here when things are 430 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,360 working right, you know? Which makes me sad because I 431 00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:18,040 wanted it to feel like that the whole, you know, I wanted to 432 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,440 enjoy every moment. But it's it's hard sometimes. 433 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,960 So it's like, I want to love you and you show me these little 434 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,840 glimmers, but then you just, you know, it's like. 435 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,360 It's not all there. It's not all there. 436 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:33,440 It's not all there. I I I think I'm on the same 437 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,360 page. I honestly, I think the overall 438 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:40,640 broad feeling for me is that I think most of the time the 439 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,880 personality of Earthworm Gym works. 440 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,920 Or you could have times like this when I'm playing and I'm 441 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,080 trying to shoot this guy in a ledge and I'm just like, why is 442 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,120 this impossible? Like stupid little. 443 00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:54,200 It's probably just me, probably just me, not really reading what 444 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,800 the physics are supposed to be, whatever. 445 00:22:56,120 --> 00:23:04,160 But when I say I also think this game feels almost like a beta 446 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,080 run or like it's it's not finished. 447 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,360 It feels like it's maybe 80% complete and they still had to 448 00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:16,280 do things like add some things to the world, fine tune some 449 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,840 gameplay mechanics, but they were like forced to push it out. 450 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,840 It's giving that vibe. Even though they were not forced 451 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,440 because it took forever for them to make it. 452 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:24,960 Yeah, I. Hear you. 453 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,520 It's the vibe. It gets it. 454 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,600 You're right. It just feels unfinished, yeah. 455 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,600 It does, it does. And and you know what, there's a 456 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,600 many aspects as to why it feels that way. 457 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,200 I think unfortunately a lot of the gameplay feels annoying 458 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,080 because of, I I don't know, it's not the weapons. 459 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,000 The weapons in Earther and Jim are always kind of charming and 460 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,520 fun and goofy. I I don't mind that. 461 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,720 But there's aspects like this moment that I'm playing if 462 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,840 you're watching the YouTube version, where like little 463 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,000 things like the bullets are so small that some of the enemies 464 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,680 are shooting at you that you can't even see them. 465 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,400 So how am I supposed to avoid it? 466 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,240 Like, I just can tell you biggest. 467 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,160 Like, one of the biggest problems with this game is the 468 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,480 enemy AI. When it shoots at you, it's 469 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:19,880 nearly impossible to dodge. You can dodge, in fact, it you 470 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,320 you naturally feel like you want to run, or you want to jump, or 471 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,040 you want to do something. No, that doesn't work. 472 00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:29,680 The enemy bullet will home in on you no matter what you do. 473 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,600 The only way to dodge it is to tap B and duck. 474 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,920 The The worst. The worst, yeah. 475 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,360 And and and some of the bullets don't home in on you. 476 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,200 Like there are definitely a few that do. 477 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,600 And those are obviously the worst culprits for sure. 478 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,880 But yeah, even the one that ones that don't, you're just like, 479 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,160 wait, how did that thing even hit me? 480 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,080 Where did that thing come from? You have to press B in order to 481 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,800 dodge under them or to dodge to the side of. 482 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,920 It's the only way you can do it. And it's just it doesn't it 483 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,920 doesn't make sense. It needs to be said the bats in 484 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,800 the horror worlds are the worst culprit of this. 485 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,320 That's exactly what I was going to say. 486 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,000 They are. It's it's, I don't know that I I 487 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,200 don't think I have a video of it. 488 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,040 I don't think I was recording when I played that level, but I 489 00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:19,680 don't know if I ever dodged those at all because. 490 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,720 It's very hard I. Don't. 491 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,080 Do you have to, like, make them run into a wall or something? 492 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,920 It's. No, you have to literally just 493 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:30,120 time your duck at the precise time because they will shoot at 494 00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:35,440 you and it homes in so fast and it's it almost will like so if 495 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,880 you run and it shoots at you and you somehow get by, it will 496 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,000 literally turn coarse and come back and hit you. 497 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,800 It's like that level of home. Or you jump off a you jump off a 498 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,400 a a a a set of stairs. You you sort of jump off like a 499 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,200 Cliff kind of thing it. Follows you down, Yeah, it 500 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,920 follows you. It goes faster. 501 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,360 It like and the and the worst part is those enemies, you can 502 00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:57,160 beat them. Yeah, right. 503 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,800 They're not hard to beat, but when you beat them, they spawn 504 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,120 back really fast. Yeah, yeah, you. 505 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,760 Walk back in that same area like 2 like a minute later and 506 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:06,720 they're back. They're back. 507 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,280 They're back fully. There's a couple points to 508 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,280 where, or at least one point where you have to defeat all of 509 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,320 them in order to like open a door and stuff, which is a 510 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,600 common mechanic. Totally fine. 511 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,880 I'm OK with that part. But then there's like two or 512 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,640 three of them coming at you and they take off like, you know, 513 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,440 10% each time you get hit. And it's like, this is 514 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,160 ridiculous and you have only a certain amount of lives. 515 00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:34,080 It's just those parts of the game are why I think it's still 516 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:39,000 fails. But it's I I didn't completely 517 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,560 dislike my time at the game either. 518 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,440 Like I don't think that it is the worst game. 519 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:49,320 I don't think it is a absolutely terrible 3D experience. 520 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,000 It is just there's aspects of it that just don't really make 521 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,880 sense. The AI of it is kind of 522 00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:57,280 ridiculous. It's. 523 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,200 Unforgiving. It's so unforgiving, but then 524 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,760 there's aspects. There's some aspects where I I 525 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,600 can't remember which stage it was specifically where it's a 526 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,600 lot of traversal it was, it was pretty simple traversal where 527 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,120 you're going through like bookcases and stuff that's in 528 00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:14,320 like a haunted house or something like. 529 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,160 That, Oh yeah, poltergeist poltergeist. 530 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,280 Yeah, the poltergeist one. I thought that was kind of fun 531 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,920 because like, oh, this is a cool environment. 532 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,240 You're you're going, you're travelling through like this 533 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,240 giant library essentially. The traversal is not amazing but 534 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,200 I was like, there's no annoying enemies that are swarming at me. 535 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,160 I'm able to sort of figure out what I need to do defeat a 536 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,920 couple enemies on my way up to the up the tower sort of speak 537 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,080 and that that's what this game should have been is is more of 538 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:46,200 that and less of these stupid annoying aliens that don't shut 539 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:51,680 up and home in on you with their bullets and have these stages. 540 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,040 Like, I hated this level, this stage, which I think was one of 541 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,440 the first few. Anyways, I couldn't stand it. 542 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,080 It was just like there's a trapped Elvis. 543 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,160 That makes no fucking sense. There's. 544 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,360 OK, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Put the Elvis. 545 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,400 I don't like what they did with him, but he himself is pretty 546 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,640 funny. He literally, when he's walking 547 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,720 down the hallway, all he says is I'm the king. 548 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,320 I'm the king, yeah, I'm the King. 549 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,520 And it made me laugh like I have a. 550 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,320 Video Yeah. This is the video I have of it 551 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:19,880 too. Yeah. 552 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,720 So he's just like, he kind of walks like he looks, he looks 553 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,760 fun, like he looks funny, he's, he's got, you know, the voice 554 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,080 and stuff. I I can't remember when you 555 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,080 start the level he's like. So I bet you hated this. 556 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,760 This this part what this is my my my first and only playthrough 557 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,440 of this part I was I did it in two shots. 558 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,080 I think maybe 3. Yeah. 559 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,400 It wasn't, did you? It wasn't great, but I didn't 560 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,760 hate it. I actually didn't hate it 561 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,320 because I knew what I needed to do. 562 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,520 This this particularly reminded me it's it's it's a call back to 563 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,800 a level in earth from gym one for Pete's sake. 564 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,640 OK where you have he goes along the pathway and you have to whip 565 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,280 him so he jumps jumps and you have to protect him from other 566 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,040 things. Right. 567 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,800 So this was a very earth from gym thing I didn't think it was 568 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,360 very fun but I was like yeah OK it makes sense that it's there 569 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,560 right. Right. 570 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,480 I that's OK would get. I'm one of those people that 571 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,200 gets antsy I could not be patient So I'm like I hit him 572 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,080 too soon several times even though I acknowledge that I know 573 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,400 I'm hitting him too soon. I'm like Oh no why did I do that 574 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:32,280 like before like as I'm hitting the button But it's yeah it's 575 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,720 really not that hard. It's not very long either, and 576 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,080 it's kind of funny the end result so. 577 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,080 Yeah, the end result is kind of it. 578 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,160 So I think, I think the reason why I made it through if you're 579 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,120 if if you see this video and as you're watching it jiggy as as I 580 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,280 play it here, the enemy AI did not respond to me going around 581 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,560 the corner so I could shoot them without them having to shoot 582 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,840 him. So I was able to move ahead a 583 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,800 few steps, shoot them without them really causing any 584 00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:00,720 problems, and then just focus on just whipping him over the 585 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,440 corners that you need to make him jump. 586 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,120 And because I was playing with headphones, so I would, I don't 587 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,640 know if it's just because of headphones, but I could hear 588 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,120 that they were just around the corner. 589 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,040 Oh nice. So I would just shoot. 590 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,520 I didn't expect them to be there. 591 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,000 I would shoot around the corner and hope my bullets bounce off 592 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,240 the wall to hit them. And sometimes it did and then I 593 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,160 would clear the enemies, and I think that's why. 594 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,840 So not only the enemies annoying sometimes, there's sometimes 595 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,200 very stupid. So it's yeah, it's weird. 596 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,800 Yeah, very inconsistent. It didn't. 597 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,160 Really depends on what you're doing. 598 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,960 Depends on the level, Depends on what you're doing. 599 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,760 I I I don't know I I think that like largely I think I was OK 600 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,920 with this game but but I think there's a lot of elements that 601 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,640 like we said I just don't I don't quite understand So let 602 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,840 let's talk about the sort of it's it's sort of a collect a 603 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,600 thon I guess you could call it like there are a lot of things 604 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,080 you need to collect. So if we want to compare it to a 605 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,080 series that we really enjoy, Banjo Kazooie, for example, 606 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,520 there are the Jiggies that you collect, which are sort of like 607 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,240 the quote UN quote main items that you collect that allow you 608 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,160 to. In this, it's a cow. 609 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,040 Utter. Golden Cow uter. 610 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,920 Golden Cow utters. It's funny, you know. 611 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,080 I get it. It's Earth from Jam. 612 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,080 It's goofy. And then there are there is the 613 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:20,960 setting of this game, which is Earth from Jam has lost his 614 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,400 marbles. So he's gone crazy. 615 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,080 He's. Lost in a coma I think, right? 616 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,280 He's in a coma and you are in his head as Earthworm Jim 617 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,720 collecting his marbles. Comparatively to to Banjo 618 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,200 Kazooie and Banjo Tooie it is instead of the musical notes you 619 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,280 are getting his marbles, there are 100 a hundred per stage. 620 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,880 You need to get a certain amount of them in order to get to a 621 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,080 certain like status, which are all goofy names that they that 622 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,040 they come up with, which I I appreciated that part. 623 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,760 Of it? You're as smart as a spoon or 624 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,320 something stupid like that. I don't. 625 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,360 I don't know if that's an actual. 626 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,280 One, but yeah, just random stuff, which I thought was fun. 627 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,120 It's like, oh this it pops up and oh, you need to be as smart 628 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,080 as a spoon or whatever it was in order to unlock this area. 629 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,640 I was like, OK, I get that. So yeah, so there's a hundred in 630 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,320 each area and those are the things you're collecting and and 631 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,240 that's it. Certain amount of them to get to 632 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,080 the next stage or next area of stages, yeah, and there are a 633 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,040 number of different worlds that you end up going. 634 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,080 Through as well I just want to say so the thing the thing about 635 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,680 Earthworm Jim is he has four brains. 636 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:34,520 OK right so he has four brains. Being an earthworm he you play 637 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,920 as his super ego is what it says. 638 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,920 So you're his ego inside his head, and you're going into each 639 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,440 one of his brains and defeating a boss within that brain. 640 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,720 That's causing an issue. And so each one, the first one 641 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,200 is memory, the second one is happiness, the third one is 642 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,600 fear, and the last one is fantasy. 643 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,880 So there's sort of emotions, but then they throw memory and 644 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,400 fantasies, so they throw that out the window. 645 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,720 So it's a little confusing, but I guess that's what each one of 646 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,640 his brains handles, and there's not room for anything else. 647 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,000 And no room for anything else. So I like, I I like that set up. 648 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,800 I, you know as as ridiculous as it is. 649 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:13,920 So what. It's Earth Room gym. 650 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,680 It's supposed to be funny. It's supposed to be ridiculous. 651 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,960 So I like that you know and and it also gives you an excuse to 652 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,000 go into different areas and worlds if you want to call them 653 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,880 that and do something goofy with what happiness is or what fear 654 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,440 is. You know fear has like a horror 655 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,080 type theme to it and stuff makes sense. 656 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,760 Yeah, it seems kind of simple, but I think it makes sense. 657 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,640 At least you're going to an area that feels different. 658 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,280 So I like that. Yeah, there's there's a There's 659 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:49,960 a certain It sucks because. Yeah, it's great, but it sucks. 660 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,680 Well, is it not? It sucks because these worlds, 661 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,400 like, they have so much charm to them. 662 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,600 Yes, they really draw you in with every individual world. 663 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,960 It's like wow, I love what they're going for, but they just 664 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,120 have some way that they they they muck it up. 665 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,560 It's just like the so the first the first world, it's it's 666 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:17,560 themed like military and it's the chickens, it's the chickens 667 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,320 versus the bovines, which are cows. 668 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,719 And it's pretty funny. I mean, the first the first 669 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,880 World is definitely, probably my least favorite in the whole 670 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,040 game. Maybe, maybe not my least 671 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,560 favorite, but it's it's just really UN like I was going to 672 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,600 say unforgettable, unmemorable. It's very forgettable. 673 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,400 Like once you're past it, I didn't think about it at all 674 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,520 until just now. And I'm like, yeah, it was just 675 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,520 kind of like green boxes and empty and bland and boring. 676 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,639 It was definitely the most bland one for sure. 677 00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:53,520 Yeah, you're going room to room and it's like they tried to give 678 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,560 you an element of like you're in the hen house kind of a deal and 679 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,480 it it's like once you meet a character like oh cool, there's 680 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,400 something here, but otherwise it's kind of boring. 681 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,160 The second level I think is a little bit better. 682 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,400 It definitely has more character. 683 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:12,240 You're outside, you have to go into the cows like facility and 684 00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:15,600 get the cleaver, which is the best weapon in the game and you 685 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,360 slice them up and that is dope. That's I love that. 686 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,320 I didn't expect, like I I I used it like usually when I picked up 687 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,800 a new weapon or or whatever. You know got a new weapon out of 688 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,480 the vending machine thing. I was I I pressed it a couple 689 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,040 times just to try it and see what it did. 690 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,880 I was like oh cool. It kind of you know does the 691 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,360 spin and and boomerangs back to you. 692 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,760 Oh there you go. As smart as a spleen. 693 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,120 That's one of the early ones. So like does it make any sense? 694 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:40,960 No. But who cares. 695 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:42,880 So that's an example of what it is. 696 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,280 So I did the the cleaver thing is was interested. 697 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,920 I was like oh cool. I kind of like boomerangs back. 698 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,400 I like that idea. That's kind of fun. 699 00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:53,480 And then, yeah. And then you go up to the the 700 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,520 bovines of the cows and it just slices their head off. 701 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,240 And I was like, whoa, I did not expect that. 702 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,560 It's very satisfying, very. It's it's one of those moments 703 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,520 you're like, yeah, that's fun. Yeah, like, I like that. 704 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,360 It was good, Yeah, that. Was I think the the thing about 705 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,280 Earth from Jim, he has so he has his base weapon, his ray gun, 706 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:12,080 right. Yeah. 707 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,480 And it it functions just like it would in the other Earth from 708 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,760 Jim's. It just shoots really fast. 709 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,400 It's like kind of a short range, hits fast. 710 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,080 It's it's mid range. I'd say not short range, but mid 711 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:25,680 range. Yeah, but. 712 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,240 It's very, it's very weak, just like it. 713 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,800 Like some enemies will die in in in two hits of a whip of your 714 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,840 head, other ones and and those those same ones will take 100 715 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,880 bullets or something. It's it's kind of weird. 716 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,080 I don't know. That's just me. 717 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,640 But anyway, sorry, continue. Yeah, well, I was just going to 718 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,840 say you have the whip too, which is you take your head out and 719 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,880 use it as a whip, just like classic or through gym. 720 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,960 So it's very faithful to that. You have a a Crouch and a super 721 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:59,800 jump and you have a new role mechanic, which I almost like 722 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,520 people that hear me talk compulsive form of movement in a 723 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,840 game. Oh yeah, I really wanted it to 724 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,200 be the role, but it just, it wasn't quite nailing it. 725 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,560 It wasn't it. It's kind of slow. 726 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,120 It's like sometimes it would be my form of movement, my 727 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,920 preferred one. But I found myself just jumping 728 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:23,120 a lot and like doing the little helicopter, which doesn't work 729 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,880 like it does in the old Earth from gym games. 730 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,160 The old Earth from gym games. Well, I guess one, because in 731 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,080 two you don't have the copter, but in the first one you use 732 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,840 your head as a copter and you could keep tapping the button 733 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,040 and it would keep coptering as you fall. 734 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,440 And this is just a single jump with with a brief copter. 735 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:45,480 It's a it's a very simple or small double jump it. 736 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:50,600 It doesn't elevate you any higher, but it's it does help 737 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,960 you a little bit on some of the the jumping stuff and sometimes 738 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,760 it's completely necessary. So it could save you 100%, and 739 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,440 it definitely did for me sometimes, but it's not, it's 740 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:02,800 not enough. I feel like it should last a 741 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,160 little bit longer. I think they're trying to give 742 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,600 him a little bit of weight. I think is what they're trying 743 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,960 to do with that, where it's like, oh, don't rely on it too 744 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,080 much or anything like that, but I I think it needed a little bit 745 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,600 more. Yeah, so you're traversing all 746 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,800 these with just that, those basic moves? 747 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,440 Yeah, yeah, That's. That's it. 748 00:38:21,720 --> 00:38:23,240 And you don't really, do you? I don't. 749 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:24,720 You don't learn anything else, do you? 750 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,760 I don't think. Nope. 751 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,840 You don't learn anything else other than you get different 752 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:33,000 weapons in pretty much every stage, and some of the weapons 753 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,560 are created, but I mean at the end of the day they just kind of 754 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,760 do the same thing. For the most part, The Cleaver 755 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,520 is really the only one that feels truly unique. 756 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,400 Yeah, that one. And the one in the alien level, 757 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,000 where bounces off walls is, you know, it's fun. 758 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,880 Yeah, it feels like gives you a little something. 759 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,000 It's a little the chicken. The chicken one is just it's 760 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,320 kind of a sniper mode and it shoots, it's funny, it shoots an 761 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,400 egg, but they go quick. And then I guess they do home in 762 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,600 an enemies too, but there's a mushroom that functions pretty 763 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,560 much the same way, right? First level, right, There's a 764 00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:11,920 the groovy gun in the horror ones. 765 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,600 That's like a she she she's musical notes. 766 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,320 Yeah. At like speakers for some I I 767 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,040 don't know. Whatever. 768 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,480 I guess speakers are not immune to music. 769 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:20,760 I don't know what that. I don't know why. 770 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:26,000 Yeah, I oh, there's rocket missiles that are they just look 771 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,160 like rockets, but they're pretty much the same as the eggs. 772 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,760 Yeah, they don't, they don't do anything special. 773 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,960 They just they put they, I think maybe they're stronger, maybe 774 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,520 against some enemies, but that's about it. 775 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,840 Again, I think the personality of these weapons of these areas 776 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,560 and stuff, it's there. It just still feels a little bit 777 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,400 not fully cooked, if that's the right way to say it. 778 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,600 You know, like there's something about it where I get I see the 779 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:54,080 idea, it's a fun idea. The execution doesn't feel like 780 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,760 it's fully there. Unfortunately, and I think, I 781 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:01,320 think the main thing, it's the levels for me, 'cause they're 782 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,560 just so they're so bland. Like the one that you're playing 783 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,720 right now, which is the cheese world. 784 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,000 Yeah, it's early. It's the second or third place 785 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,440 you can go into. I'd actually say it's arguably 786 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,120 one of the better ones because it's it's got a lot to do like 787 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:21,600 the other half that you were just in where with Elvis is not 788 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,040 good. Yeah, that's the one I didn't 789 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:23,600 like. Yeah. 790 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,760 That's that's the one that's bad, This one the other half 791 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,200 where you're exploring Lord of the Fries, that's. 792 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,800 Oh, that's what it is. And it's just got. 793 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,160 It's got charm. It's got kind of a lot of stuff 794 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,960 to do and the thing I noticed why I think I like this one 795 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:41,600 better. I won't say it's inherently much 796 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:47,120 smaller, but it feels smaller and denser, OK, which I think 797 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:52,040 would probably help a lot of the other levels because there's a 798 00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:55,240 there's a lot of levels. The the worst levels, in my 799 00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:58,240 opinion, are the last two. I agree. 800 00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:59,440 Total. I totally agree. 801 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,440 The the last two are western themed. 802 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,880 In the fantasy world they are so big and so empty. 803 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,040 You have to go one section to another section to another 804 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,120 section to another section to another section and there's not 805 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,960 much in between. And they constantly make you 806 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,440 slow with rope climbing constantly. 807 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,240 And rope climbing in itself isn't bad. 808 00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:28,240 It's just every single section has its own rope climbing 809 00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:30,080 segment. And you have to fight these 810 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,840 stupid guys that pop out of Porta potty that are a funny 811 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,400 enemy. You want to like them, but they 812 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,920 make you fight the same enemy like 15 times and you it's just 813 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,440 the same rinse and repeat thing. It's not hard, it's not 814 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,040 difficult. It's just tedious and. 815 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,720 I that that doesn't, that doesn't. 816 00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:50,840 It's not a recipe. Yeah it's not recipe for fun. 817 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,960 It's just an excuse to do something. 818 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:54,880 Yeah, I'm like that, doesn't it's? 819 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,560 That's not how. That's not what fun is like. 820 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,360 Just 'cause you're doing something doesn't mean it's fun. 821 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,600 Yeah, it's so disappointing because you get these glimpses 822 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,320 of, wow, this game play is actually pretty fun. 823 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,320 It's simple, but it's fun. And like you get a bunch. 824 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,640 Like you get the cleaver, you get a bunch of the cow enemies 825 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,560 coming at you and you're rolling, you're ducking, you're 826 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,680 you're shooting them out. I'm like, that was great, That 827 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,560 was great. And then they just can't. 828 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,520 They can't capture that again. It's it's weird, right? 829 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,960 Because what you're saying is absolutely true. 830 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:28,360 I'm, I'm on, I'm on the same page. 831 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,120 There's something about like when there's an open space and 832 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,320 there's not much to do sort of in any game really. 833 00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:36,960 It's almost like, oh, it's too simple, right? 834 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,640 But there's something about the simplicity of the areas that are 835 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,480 a little bit more dense that makes this the these areas like 836 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,640 we're watching right now in the first, like I would say third of 837 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,360 the game that make those stages better like. 838 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,760 Yeah. Like it doesn't have to be 839 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,800 overly complex, but it but even if it's just there's this really 840 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,920 strange balance that they just don't quite hit. 841 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,040 And I think that's the from start to finish it's there. 842 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,920 There's a couple levels, like you said, like we both, we agree 843 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,360 the glimpses are there, but as far as all the way through, I 844 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,920 think maybe you get that about half or a third of the way 845 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,840 through this game or or in a third or half of this game, you 846 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,400 get that the rest of the way. It just feels annoying 847 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,600 sometimes. And you know, I I got a handle 848 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,360 on some of the mechanics in the game. 849 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,880 I got a handle on how to traverse a little bit better, 850 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,320 but then it'll throw an element at you like a traversal section 851 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,800 or a bunch of enemies where it's like, well, so how do I how do I 852 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,360 use what I've learned and perfected in this way? 853 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,760 This level, this stage or this area of this stage feels 854 00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:47,400 completely ridiculous. I'm at a part part right now 855 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,600 that I this is doesn't make any sense to me where you have to 856 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,040 defeat a couple of enemies. Maybe I did something wrong. 857 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,640 I don't know. You have to defeat a couple of 858 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,240 enemies that's holding a key card to get into the next area. 859 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,160 Great. I defeated those robots. 860 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:06,480 I got the key card, but to get to the door of that area I I 861 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,800 needed to do what I did in a very specific order that I 862 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,640 didn't know I needed to do. Yes, yes, and I think I had to 863 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,600 look it up. I don't recall exactly if this 864 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,720 is a particular area that I have to look it up, but it made no 865 00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:21,560 sense. It made no sense. 866 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,280 It I agree, I did the exact same thing. 867 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,080 The only difference is I did not look it up. 868 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,000 I came up with a creative solution. 869 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,280 OK. So. 870 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:40,320 And my creative solution was the gap from the one area that you 871 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,000 can stand on to the other was smaller than the gap between 872 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,880 that little can and the area you're standing on. 873 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,560 So I went in, just took a hit tank to hit and it bounced me 874 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,280 out over to the other side. So I I did that in some elements 875 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,360 too. So I think we were probably had 876 00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,720 a similar similar idea. I just couldn't quite pull it 877 00:45:00,720 --> 00:45:01,720 off. Maybe is what it was. 878 00:45:01,720 --> 00:45:06,480 So and this and and another area that does a very similar thing 879 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,880 is this one stage where again, if you're watching the video 880 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,240 version, you can see it. You pick up these cans that make 881 00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:15,400 Jim fart funny. Like, I mean, it's funny for the 882 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,960 first, like it's awesome four times and then after that I'm 883 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,520 like, OK, I'm done here in farts. 884 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,080 But I I could listen to the farts. 885 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,160 They didn't bother me. I I actually I enjoyed this 886 00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:28,360 part. I I I think I did this. 887 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,400 Challenging. It was I think I did this like 8 888 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,720 * I it I fucking lost it at one point. 889 00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:37,360 I'm like I I don't understand. I know I have to do this and I 890 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,040 think I think if this video that I'm playing right now it gets 891 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,600 it. I don't even know if this was a 892 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:48,080 successful run to me but I think I ended up this was the last one 893 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,440 I needed in this area. So I'm like I need to get it. 894 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,440 Like I know I need this I I know I can do. 895 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,320 I've done everything else I can do this and then at one point I 896 00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,920 try and do a shortcut. It's like this really long 897 00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:02,480 traversal section. I do a shortcut and I make the 898 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,920 jump and again if you're watching right now, the camera 899 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:11,160 gets stuck and I cannot move the camera so I could see where I 900 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,360 am. It would not let me move from 901 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,280 this area unless I went to a first person view and I was not 902 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,440 able to take that shortcut. The camera in the game got 903 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,240 completely confused. Second biggest sin? 904 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,320 The camera. The camera is absolutely what we 905 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:29,320 have to talk about because you can control it with the C 906 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:34,000 buttons left and right. I there's only one part of it 907 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,440 that that worked for me. It didn't always work, which is 908 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,160 why it's frustrating. But the camera gets stuck so 909 00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:46,440 much on the on the environment. And not only does it get stuck 910 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:51,360 on the environment, but it gets in the way of Earthworm Jim. 911 00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:54,600 If you are in a tight space and the camera's in front of his 912 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,080 face, he will literally walk into the camera and the camera 913 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:02,320 as is, as as if it's a wall. Like there's an actual physical 914 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,640 camera in front of him. And you have to find a way to 915 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,760 turn the camera around him, which sometimes in those spots 916 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,760 is not possible. And it's just like. 917 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:16,400 Bro, this exact stage. I also had a major camera issue. 918 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:21,360 It was thankfully at the bottom, but I was trying to get marbles 919 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,280 on one of the lower platforms. Yep. 920 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,720 And I shot up. The camera swooped under so I 921 00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:30,880 could see Earthworm Jim, like, through the grates. 922 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,080 I can move them around. It refused to let me collect the 923 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,160 marbles like I was on them. It wouldn't let me collect them. 924 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,760 And I was like, what the heck? What is going on? 925 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,920 It just wouldn't let me. And then I felt I, like, ran off 926 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,520 the platform, purposely redid it, The camera was fine. 927 00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:50,720 And then I collected them. I was like, wow, that was so 928 00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:55,120 dumb. But this camera, because it it's 929 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:59,560 so it's so annoying because there's moments where it works. 930 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,440 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. 931 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:05,120 And then you for every moment it works, you get 2 that don't. 932 00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:07,400 And then you get really frustrated and then it's like, 933 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,000 well, hey, I'm going to work now and then you're happy. 934 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:14,400 And then it it it does it again. It's just so it it constantly 935 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,560 wants to get close to Jim, OK? And they give you the option of 936 00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:22,640 a close zoom, a medium zoom, a a long like far away zoom. 937 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,000 And I'm like fantastic. I'm never going to use any of 938 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,160 the zooms except for the long one. 100% it's like there's no 939 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,080 reason. By default, I'm always pressing 940 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,240 down C in order to make it the furthest away. 941 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,800 And it feels like every room it wants to push it back in by you. 942 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,760 Yeah I think well I think when you enter a new area that the 943 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,640 game quote UN quote has to load it goes back to the default 944 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,600 which I think is the medium range one which in some levels 945 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,080 OK maybe if you forget or what I OK it's manageable. 946 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:56,280 But yeah, you need, you pretty much need to, to do the furthest 947 00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,440 away it is. Again, at times it works. 948 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,840 And the only thing that I think that this game does smart, which 949 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:07,640 not every 3D game of this era does, is if you I think it's 950 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,640 when you hold on to the R button, the camera will be 951 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:16,400 behind gym constantly. I like that because that feels 952 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,920 like, yeah, 'cause it feels like a 3D action game as close as it 953 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:25,440 can to a more modern feel. And sometimes it works and it's 954 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,560 great, but it doesn't always let you do it. 955 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,760 And it's not perfect because the camera still gets stuck on a 956 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,880 bunch of stuff, so. It's almost like when you get to 957 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:42,520 about 3/4 into the game, like the Third world, you really kind 958 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:47,400 of master the camera and it's it's a combination of switching 959 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,560 your views and hitting the R button. 960 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:54,040 It's it's you've naturally feel this like way to maneuver it. 961 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,840 You're like, OK, I know I'm going to need a little bit more. 962 00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,280 I'm going to zoom out a bit. Oh, I know it's going to be 963 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,080 wonky around this corner, so I'm going to hold R while it so it 964 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:03,880 locks in. You know, it's personality. 965 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,080 Yeah, you figure it out and it becomes its own character you 966 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,120 have to control. Yeah. 967 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:15,000 Like, but yeah. It's just I I think a camera in 968 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,280 this era is difficult. It it was for a very long time. 969 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:24,120 It's not perfect in most 3D action games and and platformers 970 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,480 and collect the thongs and stuff. 971 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,240 I I totally get it. You know some work, some don't 972 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,480 but it doesn't need to be its own mechanic. 973 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,640 It just should just be like it's lit like you're saying. 974 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,320 The way you're describing it sounds like a gameplay mechanic, 975 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:43,040 and it shouldn't be right. It should just be A at least 976 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,200 mostly functional part of how you traverse, and most of the 977 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,920 time it doesn't feel like that's what it is. 978 00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,720 So. Nobody would say in Mario 64, 979 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,000 oh, I can't control the camera. Oh, it's being weird here, like 980 00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,720 it's just natural. And they did such a good job of 981 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,840 the way you feel it. Same with Banjo Kazooie. 982 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,840 You just feel it right. You feel it and it and it and it 983 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:11,080 works the way that you assume it would, you know, yeah. 984 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,360 And that is, that's good. That's just good design. 985 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,520 That's what that is, right? That's just good design. 986 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,040 So. And it's like Jim sometimes 987 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:19,320 feels good. Yeah. 988 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,080 And then it frustrates you, Yeah. 989 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:26,240 And then it frustrates you. And I think the Segway, the most 990 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,520 frustrating parts, No, this is not the fatal sin. 991 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,720 Not yet. We're getting there. 992 00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:34,320 OK, I'm so I thought this was. I thought this was what it was 993 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:35,600 going to be. But I thought you. 994 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,720 I knew you thought it was going to be the boss fights. 995 00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:41,080 OK, it's not the boss fights. That's not the fatal sin. 996 00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,000 I'm literally OK. I'm shifting to my seat. 997 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,080 I'm literally at the edge of my seat now, so let's. 998 00:51:46,240 --> 00:51:47,240 Let's talk about the boss. Fights. 999 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:48,520 We're going to talk about the boss fights. 1000 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:54,520 So the boss fights are one in each world or each part of Jim's 1001 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,720 mind, and they're all enemies. Some, well, some of them are 1002 00:51:57,720 --> 00:52:02,080 enemies that you've seen before, like like the one I'm showing 1003 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:03,120 right now. He is. 1004 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,000 What's his name? I was. 1005 00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:05,040 I was. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1006 00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,000 OK, so here I'm going to bail you out here. 1007 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,560 Please. So all of the enemies are 1008 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,120 classic earthworm gym enemies you have. 1009 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:16,560 Psycho is the first one, surprisingly not the main one. 1010 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,920 I know when he came up first I was like are we facing him like 1011 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,920 7 times like? Yeah, I thought. 1012 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:23,000 I thought he was going to be a repeat. 1013 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,040 But no, it's him. And then you get Fatty Roswell, 1014 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:30,560 the alien. You get Professor Monkey for a 1015 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:31,520 head. Yep. 1016 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:33,920 And. And. 1017 00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,800 Bob the goldfish and #4, which is his cat. 1018 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,840 He literally rides the cat in the mud. 1019 00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:47,320 And then there's a a final boss. Have you gotten this? 1020 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:48,840 Did you get this? Nope. 1021 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,400 OK, I didn't either. I know what it is. 1022 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,640 I knew what it was before, OK? And I didn't get it for a very 1023 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,600 particular reason that is going off of the fatal sin. 1024 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:07,320 But the final boss is actually Earthworm Kim, which is Jim's 1025 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,720 feminine side trying to take over the body. 1026 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:15,240 And so you have, Yeah, it's really funny. 1027 00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:21,520 It, Oh my God, I don't know, comes out on a pig and it's just 1028 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,640 Earthworm Jim with like, a blonde wig. 1029 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,840 OK, I so again I I'm going to, I'm going to pull up. 1030 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,080 I found a video earlier that had all the boss fights on it. 1031 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,200 So I'm going to pull that up and I'm definitely going to watch 1032 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,400 that while we talk about it. We're definitely going to pull 1033 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,160 it up. So the the OK, so just to 1034 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:46,040 describe very briefly what the mechanic of the boss fights is, 1035 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:52,840 is that you are riding around on a pig for example, on some of 1036 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,160 them at least, and using it basically as a skateboard. 1037 00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,080 You're on a you're on a pig in all of them. 1038 00:53:58,120 --> 00:53:59,280 Is it all? Is it a pig in all of them? 1039 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,000 Oh, I don't know why I. Thought Yeah, you're literally, 1040 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:05,760 you're literally riding a pig in mud on all of them. 1041 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:10,320 Yeah, And it's very slippery. It's very awkward. 1042 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,280 It moves forward on its own. You don't have to press anything 1043 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:17,480 to move forward. It's it's a horrible boss design 1044 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,240 I like. If this was a mini game it would 1045 00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:23,320 have been fine, but they literally rinse and repeat this 1046 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:27,160 for every single boss and it's it actually gets easier. 1047 00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,960 I'm not going to lie. Oh, I thought the second one was 1048 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:30,920 the worst. I thought the. 1049 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,680 Second boss is the hardest. It gets easier. 1050 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,840 The third boss, Professor Monkey for a head, I think his his 1051 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,400 level layout, it's it's different, right? 1052 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,880 And so the first two are very similar, yeah. 1053 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:47,000 But the third level is different and it just feels easier to 1054 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,200 connect and get the marbles. And I think a lot of that has to 1055 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:55,320 do with there's hills on the 1st 2 and when you hit those hills, 1056 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:59,600 you go flying up in the air. It's it's very frustrating. 1057 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,560 You're trying to collect 100 marbles that are the enemy is 1058 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,400 also trying to collect 100 marbles. 1059 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,000 And they're shooting missiles at you constantly. 1060 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,440 And those missiles are just like every other projectile in the 1061 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,720 game that gets thrown at you. They home in on. 1062 00:55:12,720 --> 00:55:16,200 They're very hard to dodge. Your only way to dodge is to you 1063 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,720 jump at the precise time, which is very hard. 1064 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,960 With the camera, it gets very difficult. 1065 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,480 You think you're going to, like, avoid it because I played tons 1066 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:32,120 of trust me, I played tons of N64 games, tons of platformers, 1067 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,960 and you think you're going to dodge this missile and it still 1068 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,240 hits you. It's almost like it's your pig. 1069 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,760 It hits you. Where I was trying to just avoid 1070 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,680 it as gems. So I don't know, maybe that's 1071 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,760 the hitbox is messed up. I don't know. 1072 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,120 I I think I think you're absolutely right. 1073 00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,840 I think you're you're on to something and also what adds to 1074 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:56,200 the annoyance of it is that like really what I think the mechanic 1075 00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,480 should be instead of you having 100 marbles and then having 1076 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:03,760 zero, which makes some of these battles last way too long. 1077 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,560 Like I I think honestly even like the first one or the 1078 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,400 second, I think I did it for like 20 minutes. 1079 00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,680 I'm sorry, but that's just too long, especially with the 1080 00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,320 mechanic that it is. I think what it should have been 1081 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:19,400 my my suggestion, in case they're listening, my suggestion 1082 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:25,280 is like, is, is make the marbles your health bar so that if you 1083 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:30,120 end up hitting them enough times with the missiles or they hit 1084 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:34,280 you enough times with the missiles, then you know, maybe 1085 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,240 you can chip down the life down to zero. 1086 00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,240 And then it's done because you've gotten the your enemy 1087 00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:42,040 down to 0 or you're down to 0. Because every time you collect 1088 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,400 the marble it it, it adds to your health. 1089 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:48,200 Or give every, give everybody 50, give both of you 50 and 1090 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,440 whoever gets down to 0 loses and boom, you've beat the boss. 1091 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,160 That's all. And every rocket here, every 1092 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,720 rocket hit is worth 10 or 15 and just sort of do the math that 1093 00:56:57,720 --> 00:56:59,880 way. I just, I hate the fact that 1094 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,240 these things lasted so long because like you said, the way 1095 00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:07,520 it controls on top of the camera just creates an honesty at like 1096 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,760 a pretty disastrous experience most of the time I would say. 1097 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,280 Yeah, you have to you. It constantly puts you in the 1098 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:17,640 situation, like if you hit them they drop a big bundle of 1099 00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,200 marbles. And so do you in front of them. 1100 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,120 Yeah, And you have to do these really tight little turns to 1101 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,280 collect all of them. And as you're doing that, 1102 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:25,440 they're shooting missiles at you. 1103 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,440 Yeah, because the AI is insane. Yeah. 1104 00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,440 So it's just it's it's overly difficult. 1105 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,640 It didn't need to be that hard. It does get easier after the 1106 00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,360 second boss. The second boss was peak. 1107 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,040 I didn't really have a problem with Bob the Goldfish, but his 1108 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,320 level is a little different. Again, with hills. 1109 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,280 Yeah, maybe I just got lucky with that. 1110 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,040 But. Well, sometimes I think it's. 1111 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,120 Just not good. And it it doesn't relate at all 1112 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,160 to any other part of the game. You're never riding this pig 1113 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:53,720 other than that. He only shows up. 1114 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,080 I don't get it. He only shows up at this point 1115 00:57:56,400 --> 00:58:00,000 and then it's like, OK, like when it first happened I was 1116 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,200 like, oh, that's funny, that's cool. 1117 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,640 And then I just lost like probably three or four times. 1118 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,520 The first time I tried the first boss, 'cause I just could not 1119 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,440 get a handle on the way things control. 1120 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,600 And I know that there's there's other games like this where like 1121 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,600 you know your your projection your your forward momentum just 1122 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,640 happens with or without you and then you can slow down just 1123 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,640 slightly by pulling back on the joystick. 1124 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,720 That's not new. But there's something about the 1125 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,600 way that it's. Yes, I think it's also a 1126 00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,640 combination of the of the camera, but something about the 1127 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:35,160 way that the momentum works and the speed that you're at and the 1128 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,720 and the the lack of tight turns that you can make. 1129 00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:42,160 Like, it's just, it's not. It's just not good. 1130 00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:46,520 And I hate that they did it over and over and over again, like 1131 00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,440 one or two times. I can forgive it. 1132 00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,720 But it's just this. Like I dreaded doing the bosses, 1133 00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,080 'cause I I didn't know that they were all like that. 1134 00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,560 When I when I beat the second one, I was like, God, I hope 1135 00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,240 that's the last one. No, it happened again and again. 1136 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,640 And I was like this is. Just stupid. 1137 00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:08,000 I really wish they did something different for every boss, like 1138 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,960 if they did this one time, which I think it makes actually the 1139 00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,880 most sense with the one that's the hardest, Fatty Roswell I 1140 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,600 think slipping and sliding because his level has the 1141 00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,320 cheese. It's it's got food related like 1142 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,680 he and he he shoots ketchup at you like. 1143 00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,280 Yeah, I think his made the most sense. 1144 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,360 Plus he's riding the burger, which you know he's an alien. 1145 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,480 It's a ship like it makes it just makes total sense. 1146 00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,280 Right now we're watching a goldfish in a bowl ride a cat on 1147 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,120 mud. Why couldn't they give us 1148 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,200 something funny like in the oldest from gym games? 1149 00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:44,200 To beat, you do usually have to fight #4, but to beat Bob the 1150 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,800 Goldfish, you literally push him off a table and he just. 1151 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:50,200 Oh my God, I remember that. Oh my God, it's funny. 1152 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,920 So even this, even this video I'm watching when I'm talking 1153 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,160 about, like, we're talking about the repetitive Ness of it and 1154 00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,520 everything. So this is supposed to be like a 1155 00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:03,360 a video of first try this person on YouTube beats every boss the 1156 01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,200 first try, right? That's what it is, right? 1157 01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:10,680 This one, the Bob the Goldfish one, goes from 14 1/2 minutes to 1158 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:15,480 22 minutes and that's that's like not a speed run per SE but 1159 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,040 it's a run that is pretty successful and and not and close 1160 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,520 as close to quote UN quote flawless as you can get. 1161 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,840 And that's I'm sorry, it's insane that it's that long, you 1162 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:26,440 know? And there's no way I did it in 1163 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:27,800 that time. It's way too long. 1164 01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:29,640 Yeah, they all overstay their welcome. 1165 01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:35,120 Yeah, for sure. So I think we've reached the 1166 01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:39,400 point. Oh wait, Earthworm Kim. 1167 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,560 I'm pulling up Earthworm Kim. OK, Earthworm Kim. 1168 01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:44,440 Earthworm Kim shows up. Just watch it. 1169 01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,120 Watch the intro. Everybody find us on YouTube. 1170 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,040 Watch. Watch the the intro. 1171 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,840 It's hilarious. Jim's coming out, He's on, he's 1172 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,040 in the water. He's coming out on a pig. 1173 01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,680 He's riding that pig. He's looking around for the 1174 01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,680 enemy and what approaches from the shadows. 1175 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:03,360 What is this supposed to be? It is a dark version of 1176 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:06,040 Earthworm Jim. Oh dark no. 1177 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:12,000 It's Earthworm Kim. Oh no, it's Kim. 1178 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:16,520 It's just it's so ridiculous. Like he's sort of like purple, 1179 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,000 pink color. He's got a wig on and earrings. 1180 01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,840 It pretty much looks exactly like Earth from Jim, muscles and 1181 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,920 all, just with a big wig on and slight color difference. 1182 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:32,120 Yeah, and and a huge, like and like huge eyelashes. 1183 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,800 Like, it's just it's it's ridiculous. 1184 01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:38,400 OK. The ultimate sin, Sir, I am. 1185 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,400 I'm still on the edge of my seat and as is everybody else that's 1186 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,200 listening and watching. What? 1187 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,280 What is it? We've covered so much that 1188 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,720 annoys the hell out of us. What could it possibly be? 1189 01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:56,360 The ultimate sin that made me it made me do something stupid, OK? 1190 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,960 And that ultimate sin is something we've actually 1191 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:04,280 experienced together before, and we both had the same reaction. 1192 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:08,880 And that ultimate sin is you beat the game, you beat all the 1193 01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:15,720 bosses, you get the majority of collectibles and you don't have 1194 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,600 a credits roll. And you go, what's going on? 1195 01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:23,760 You go to the main area and you see Pete the puppy, Peter, Peter 1196 01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,600 the puppy. And you talk to him and he says, 1197 01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:32,960 collect all of the utters and come back to me, the 1198 01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:36,360 unforgivable sin, the same as Jet Force Gemini. 1199 01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,680 Collect all the tribals, collect all the utters. 1200 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:47,640 OK, the utters. There's there's 70, three I 1201 01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:54,560 think, and a 74th, 1:00, but it requires you to collect all of 1202 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,000 the utters. Think thank the Lord. 1203 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,680 You don't have to collect all the marbles, but the marbles 1204 01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,960 would be easier than the utters to be honest. 1205 01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:07,160 I think so too. So I I did my due diligence. 1206 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:08,880 I did. I said my mantra. 1207 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,120 I said I don't quit. I don't run. 1208 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:15,720 I will be Hokage. And I collected every utter and 1209 01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:20,800 I was on the grandma level and I needed two utters. 1210 01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,360 And this. I mean this is when they say 12 1211 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:28,880 hours they probably mean bosses like to beat the 4th boss and 1212 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:33,200 don't count the true ending. I don't know because I had to go 1213 01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:37,040 back and I just, I I was defeated man. 1214 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:39,680 I was like man, I really want to finish this. 1215 01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,760 And granted, I could, you know, we could have extended it. 1216 01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,240 I was like, I already gave myself the extra day. 1217 01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,880 I was like, Dave, can we do it? Can we do it a day later so I 1218 01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,480 can have time to finish this, You know, I really gave it the 1219 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:53,720 old college try. But I I just couldn't. 1220 01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:55,920 I couldn't. I had two utters and they were 1221 01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,200 just lingering over me and I was trying to do it. 1222 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:03,800 So I tried to enter some, you know, just some game shark stuff 1223 01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:08,400 on my on my everdrive, right. And just for that last of them, 1224 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,160 like, just give me those last two utters. 1225 01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:14,880 Yeah, I know I did that and now it seems I can't finish the game 1226 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,320 on my save. It it just it says I have seven 1227 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:24,440 of six utters on the last level and will not trigger this last 1228 01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:28,600 boss fight. So I'm going to have to either 1229 01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,960 do it again, which is not happening. 1230 01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,640 Figure out an ever drive thing that'll get me at least to the 1231 01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:38,200 point where I can just finish it, which is probably most 1232 01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:42,480 likely what's going to happen. I know what happens, but I just 1233 01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:48,320 I was just so I was so defeated man, because I just games. 1234 01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:55,160 Games requiring you to collect 100% tick me off. 1235 01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,920 I love collecting things. DK 64 is one of my favorite 1236 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,200 favorite games. The biggest collected THON. 1237 01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:02,680 The King of Collected. Thons. 1238 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,320 Literally the king of collected Thons. 1239 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,320 Yeah, yeah. And you don't have to collect. 1240 01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,800 Everything, right? It's the game, right? 1241 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:14,320 It's man, it's totally fine. If if there are elements of, you 1242 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,480 know, get the majority, get the vast majority, get get a 1243 01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:22,040 certain, get just enough to get you to the next World, the next 1244 01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,160 boss, whatever. And if you want to be a 1245 01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,760 completionist, go for it. You know, that's totally fine. 1246 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:31,520 You know it. Just even if it's 95% of the 1247 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,960 stuff, you don't hold back an ending. 1248 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:39,040 Not that there's some deep story at play here, but you don't hold 1249 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:43,640 back an ending to a story just because it just it just feels 1250 01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,120 like a sad excuse. That's really all it is. 1251 01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:50,400 I say give a 7070% collection rate. 1252 01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:55,840 Give a 30% buffer right? And if you want to entice people 1253 01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,480 to finish and collect everything, give them some 1254 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:02,400 special bonus at the end. Yeah, another ending or or some 1255 01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,040 other item or character or something, Yeah. 1256 01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,680 Something different, like maybe you maybe if you get all the 1257 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:12,080 Utters, you could play as Earthworm Kim throughout the 1258 01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:13,760 game. Yes, that would be funny, that. 1259 01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:15,720 'D be great. You know, that'd be great. 1260 01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,200 Maybe some of the dialogue changes because you're Kim 1261 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:19,440 instead of Jim. I don't know. 1262 01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:21,160 You know what I mean? Like just something like 1263 01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:25,040 something something I I'm with I'm with you that so that's 1264 01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,640 completely dumb. I didn't get anywhere close to 1265 01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:29,920 being 100%, so I didn't even think I was gonna try. 1266 01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:32,720 I was. I was at 98%, man. 1267 01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:34,280 I had. Insane. 1268 01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:38,320 I had almost all the marbles as well. 1269 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:43,360 I had one level. I think I had 97 marbles. 1270 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:45,680 And that's all you had left. Go back and finish and that's 1271 01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,240 all I had left, but the marbles were easy to collect. 1272 01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,120 They're they're not as bad. No. 1273 01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:51,720 Yeah, they're not as bad. I mean, there's a few that I 1274 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,920 didn't finish for sure. But like, they're not as bad 1275 01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:57,240 because they're kind of like they're kind of like the the 1276 01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:00,640 musical notes in Banjo Kazooie. I I would say because like. 1277 01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:02,760 I'd say they're they might even be easier. 1278 01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:04,720 They're just kind of everywhere. They're kind of everywhere. 1279 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,800 There's a hundred. I mean, there are also in other 1280 01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:10,520 games, but they're not in like outrageous places. 1281 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,640 The the problem with the Utters is that there's a lot of jumping 1282 01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,320 through hoops in order to get just one. 1283 01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,080 And sometimes jumping through those hoops takes also takes 1284 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,480 forever and because of all the elements that we've talked 1285 01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,960 about, tends to take a bunch of tries. 1286 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,840 And it's like, well, this is just taking me 20 minutes to get 1287 01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:31,560 one thing when it should take me, you know, I don't know, 1288 01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:33,920 five, so. It's not. 1289 01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,040 It's not clear. Utters are not clear. 1290 01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:39,480 Like you. You do get to figure out the. 1291 01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:41,880 Stupidest things. Oh, and you stumble upon it. 1292 01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:50,280 There's another really bad sin this game does, which is I beat 1293 01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:52,880 it, OK, but it was very annoying. 1294 01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:57,760 There is a game like it's a mini game, sort of where you have to 1295 01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:04,160 herd grandmas into a gate, and they have, they watch 1296 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,240 television, but you have to herd all of them at once. 1297 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:12,840 OK, And for viewers that know me and viewers that have played 1298 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,880 Donkey Kong 64, it's it's Beaver bother. 1299 01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:17,720 Oh, OK, yeah. Yeah. 1300 01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:20,600 Yeah, it's basically Beaver bother, right? 1301 01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:25,000 But you need to beat it. It forces you to beat it because 1302 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,279 you need to get another. And not only does it do it once, 1303 01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:32,720 you have to do it twice. You have to do it in the 1/2 of 1304 01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:34,720 the Western world, and then you have to do it in the second-half 1305 01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:36,720 of the Western world. And just and just like the 1306 01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,920 bosses, It makes no sense to do it that way. 1307 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:43,680 It doesn't make any sense. Like, come on, Earth Room Gym is 1308 01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,880 ridiculous. Come up with another ridiculous 1309 01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:47,680 idea. No one's going to care if it 1310 01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:48,880 doesn't make a whole lot of sense. 1311 01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:50,520 Nothing in this game makes sense. 1312 01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:53,240 That's part of the charm of what this character is. 1313 01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,640 Just do something stupid. Yeah. 1314 01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:57,880 The world's stupid. The character's stupid? 1315 01:08:58,120 --> 01:08:59,399 Great. Do it. 1316 01:09:00,399 --> 01:09:03,680 It's it's a like to be fair, it's a funny idea. 1317 01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,359 You have to herd grandmas into a gate and watch TV, but there's 1318 01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:08,680 so many missed opportunities too. 1319 01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,319 Like Earthworm Jim has a whip attack. 1320 01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:13,880 You could whip them to make them move. 1321 01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:17,160 You don't. You run behind them and then 1322 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,800 they move at awkward angles and you have to somehow get them all 1323 01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:26,000 to be in one area and then you run forward and push them in. 1324 01:09:26,279 --> 01:09:29,160 But you always, inevitably get one that just like last second 1325 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,880 goes like this and goes around the gate and then you have to 1326 01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:35,279 walk around and then they all move and it's like you can't 1327 01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:37,920 just get them in the gate. It's like you get one in the 1328 01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:41,359 gate and you go get another, that one will come out of the 1329 01:09:41,359 --> 01:09:42,960 gate and start walking around again. 1330 01:09:43,359 --> 01:09:46,560 It was very frustrating and I did it twice and that was the 1331 01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,279 what killed me. I beat both of those grandma 1332 01:09:49,279 --> 01:09:51,319 moments, and when I beat the second one, I was like, I I 1333 01:09:51,319 --> 01:09:54,200 just, I want to be done. Yeah, yeah, unfortunately like 1334 01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:56,400 that's. There's a lot of unfortunate 1335 01:09:56,440 --> 01:09:58,560 moments like that in this game, and I think that's what we're 1336 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,640 running into, right? So the ideas are there, they're 1337 01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:05,880 not executed very well and there's a lot of repeat ideas 1338 01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:09,920 that shouldn't be there because like we just said, have fun with 1339 01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:11,520 it. It's Earthworm Jim, You know, 1340 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:16,000 like come on, just just do it. Before we give our final sort of 1341 01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,760 like mini review type thoughts on it. 1342 01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:23,640 I'm going to pull up. I'm going to close this video 1343 01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:28,320 and I'm going to pull up the issue of Nintendo Power that had 1344 01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:34,400 a breakdown of the first couple of stages, had a overview map of 1345 01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:38,400 some of the stages as well, and also had coincidentally enough 1346 01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:43,840 Donkey Kong 64 on the cover. So it is a very jam packed issue 1347 01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,840 here. This is issue 126, November of 1348 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:48,920 1999. So the month that this game came 1349 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:53,160 out, I'm going to go to the back of Nintendo Power of this and 1350 01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:56,320 I'm going to read a little snippet from Earthworm Jim 3D 1351 01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,680 rating and grading that they gave it. 1352 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:05,160 Now I think overall Nintendo Power is you know pretty much 1353 01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:07,760 like raw, raw, Nintendo's the best. 1354 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,240 It's kind of like a little bit of a advertisement for Nintendo 1355 01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:19,400 but but Earth Room Gym 3D has an overall rating of 6.8 and you 1356 01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:23,680 know this is that's probably high but we'll we'll get to that 1357 01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:26,520 and these are some of the points that they have. 1358 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,520 So play control. Big part of what we've been 1359 01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:32,600 talking about in play control. It says it's loose, but most 1360 01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:37,720 players should feel comfortable performing Jim's wide array of 1361 01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:42,000 fun moves in short order. Wide is also very generous. 1362 01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:46,360 The real trouble is the poor camera control that will leave 1363 01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:49,240 players feeling disoriented and out of position. 1364 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,480 So. That's fair. 1365 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:53,840 It's fair. And also I think, I think the 1366 01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,680 reason why something like that is noteworthy is because like I 1367 01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:01,920 mentioned, Nintendo Power is for the most part, really props up 1368 01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:05,920 their products, right? It wasn't necessarily a 100% 1369 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:10,120 true like rating system. It was very much like this is 1370 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:12,680 Nintendo, this is our stuff, buy our stuff. 1371 01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:14,800 In some ways that's sort of the vibe that it gets. 1372 01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,240 It's fun. It's fun to have and read. 1373 01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:18,840 I have a bunch of issues. I love it. 1374 01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,080 I think it's it's great memory and nostalgia and everything, 1375 01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:25,840 but the fact that it points it out in that way is pretty clear 1376 01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:29,920 that it it was an issue even then, and then finally some of 1377 01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:34,040 the comments from Scott. The camera doesn't always do 1378 01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:37,520 what it should, but overall it was fun to play. 1379 01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:42,400 Kyle says the camera ruins the whole experience and Sonia says 1380 01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:48,000 it's fun and wacky. I think that's that's fair. 1381 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:53,120 Those comments are fair, so they give it a 6.8 jiggy if you 1382 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,000 wanted to give it a score. If you wanted to give it a 1383 01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,480 recommend or not, where would you stand with Earthworm Gym 1384 01:12:57,480 --> 01:13:03,880 Three DI? I'd recommend it. 1385 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:10,400 I I feel like people hate on it a lot, and it's one of those 1386 01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:14,480 that I see a lot of the flaws, OK? 1387 01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:20,640 And it's not great. Don't get me wrong, it's it's 1388 01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:27,200 OK, it's OK. A 6.8 is a little high, but I 1389 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:29,640 wasn't dramatically far from that. 1390 01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:33,680 I mean I guess in my scale I I would probably say like a 5 1/2 1391 01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:39,400 I I I think A5 being a solid like middle route. 1392 01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:43,240 I think the charm and the characters bring it up to that 1393 01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:46,880 little half point for me, right? I could see why someone wouldn't 1394 01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:50,360 like it as much, but it it honestly, it plays fine. 1395 01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,840 There's just, there's things that you see that you're like, 1396 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,400 man, this is great. I think it could be something 1397 01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,040 special and then it just doesn't deliver, right, OK. 1398 01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,800 And it just kind of stays mid, the whole thing and it's 1399 01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:04,800 playable. You can get through it. 1400 01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,640 It's hard, but you can get through it. 1401 01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:10,480 But yeah. So that's something. 1402 01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:12,600 Pretty mid game. Yeah, I I'm going to give it a 1403 01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:14,360 little bit lower than that. It's probably going to be just 1404 01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,440 below A5, maybe a 4 1/2 or A5. I think. 1405 01:14:17,480 --> 01:14:19,840 And I I just think that like all the stuff we talked about with 1406 01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,920 how frustrating a lot of the elements would be, how much time 1407 01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:25,160 it took to sometimes do the most simplest things. 1408 01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,640 Yeah, just really irks me. Like I just, I want to get 1409 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:30,080 through this. I want to play this whole game. 1410 01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:33,200 I want to experience the charm and the goofiness of what 1411 01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:36,800 Earthworm Jim is, and it feels like you're constantly running 1412 01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:38,760 into a wall against that. They're almost like trying to 1413 01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:42,080 prevent you from experiencing that in a way which is so 1414 01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:46,400 shitty. And the the camera at times. 1415 01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:51,200 Like like you said, you get a handle on it a little bit, but 1416 01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:54,720 it's just the fact that it is constantly a worry and 1417 01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:59,160 constantly a mechanic when it doesn't need to be really knocks 1418 01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:00,880 it down a lot. I I appreciate that. 1419 01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:04,960 Hold on to our go behind gym stuff only works really in open 1420 01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:09,760 areas or works well in open areas which only happens 1421 01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:11,800 halfway, you know, half of the game I would say. 1422 01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:16,440 And some of the unforgiving aspects of it are traversal and 1423 01:15:16,440 --> 01:15:19,560 some of it are enemies or what the enemies shoot out at you and 1424 01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,400 I just think that really did not need to be there. 1425 01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:26,280 So it's good. I think it's worth a try, but I 1426 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:28,720 think if you get to a point where you start feeling 1427 01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,440 frustrated with it, I think it's OK to just stop. 1428 01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:33,920 I think that I think you've got the gist of what the game is 1429 01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,560 going to be. So I think what I what I would 1430 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:41,520 say and it was funny as you were talking like I think it's one of 1431 01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:43,360 those games just don't finish it. 1432 01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:47,000 And I I I hate that, I hate that. 1433 01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:51,840 I hate to say it, but you need to make the effort though to get 1434 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:54,960 past Fatty Roswell and play the horror levels. 1435 01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:58,960 Yes, because the horror levels are fun and Professor Monkey 1436 01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:02,040 Monkey for a Head is pretty fun. Once you get to the western 1437 01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:03,520 world's, that's where I'd cut it. 1438 01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:05,280 I I agree. And that and that's you don't. 1439 01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:06,720 Need to play anything? And along the way you'll 1440 01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:10,040 probably hit some some frustrating spots for sure. 1441 01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:13,000 You know, you can skip over some and go to the next World and 1442 01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,840 maybe pick a pick, pick and choose sort of where the order 1443 01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:19,040 you do things in, which I think is is kind of good too. 1444 01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:24,400 But like, yeah, which is what maybe rough 60% of the way 1445 01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:26,640 through the game I would say is that. 1446 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:28,840 Yeah, probably more like 70. Yeah, that's pretty. 1447 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:32,160 You got you got two worlds after that and another boss, and then 1448 01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:33,640 you'd have to collect all the utters. 1449 01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:35,800 Yeah, so. And the horror worlds, there's 1450 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,720 actually there's there's like a secret world within that. 1451 01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:41,040 So there's early, I think there's two secret worlds. 1452 01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:43,840 There's like 4 horror worlds. Isn't that like disco one? 1453 01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:45,800 Sort of like a secret thing in a way. 1454 01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:49,920 And then also. Also, Boogie Nights, Poltergeist 1455 01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:54,040 Poltergeist 2. And then there's like, it's like 1456 01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:59,160 Death Worm or dead warmed up or something like that. 1457 01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:01,720 That one's the worst one. Yeah, yeah, the others, 1458 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:06,360 Poltergeist 1, Poltergeist 2, and Boogie Nights are all fun. 1459 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:08,360 They're all three of those. I loved all of them. 1460 01:17:08,440 --> 01:17:11,000 Yeah, the the boogie one. I was like, so, so on but but I 1461 01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:13,080 I agree that they're worth short. 1462 01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:15,160 They're worth playing. And it is all of those are 1463 01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,320 actually probably short because they're all like worlds within a 1464 01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:20,280 world kind of thing. So I so here's a. 1465 01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:22,760 Secret bonus world, by the way. Oh snap. 1466 01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:24,080 I did not. Know, but you have to collect 1467 01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:26,760 all the marbles to get it. Oh, so it's not happening, OK. 1468 01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:31,680 But but it plays back. They did do what we said. 1469 01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:38,400 They gave you a reward for collecting 100%, but they just 1470 01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:43,480 didn't cap you out at finishing the game for the Utters. 1471 01:17:43,480 --> 01:17:45,520 Oh, I see. They require you to get all the 1472 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:46,800 utters. They don't require you to get 1473 01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:48,440 all the marbles, but they do give you a reward. 1474 01:17:48,440 --> 01:17:51,200 If you get all the marbles and I don't know what that reward is, 1475 01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:54,680 I'm going to have to look it up. It's a it's in the horror world, 1476 01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,480 there's a door and it says you have to get all the marbles to 1477 01:17:57,480 --> 01:17:59,720 open that door. Oh, and. 1478 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:01,400 It's a. It's some sort of bonus level. 1479 01:18:01,480 --> 01:18:09,760 All marbles, earthworm, gem, 3D reward, question mark, question 1480 01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:13,840 mark and I'll tell you when a special mission is completed 1481 01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:16,640 marbles, blah blah blah blah blah. 1482 01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:17,960 I don't know I can't find it exactly. 1483 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:23,200 But you know I I think yeah, the game bumps into all these all 1484 01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:24,840 these things. Yeah there's ideas. 1485 01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:27,560 The execution is is not great in a lot of ways. 1486 01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:32,360 Again worth a try if you have the time put in two 2/3 of the 1487 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:33,680 game. But you're right, I think that's 1488 01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:36,000 the cut off point. You've got the gist of the game. 1489 01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:37,880 You've run into enough annoyances at that point. 1490 01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,200 It's OK to call it quits. That's totally fine. 1491 01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:45,600 So OK that we played it, not ecstatic about the final 1492 01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:49,200 product, but hey, now you could say that you've completed all of 1493 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:53,480 the earthworm gym world or or as close as you could in this one 1494 01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:55,000 and you. You've gone get it. 1495 01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:56,160 I'll finish it. You'll get there. 1496 01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:56,920 OK. All right. 1497 01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,440 We'll have to get a report back or something or or watch you on 1498 01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:01,720 online on on Twitter and stuff to sort of. 1499 01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:05,520 I did it. Yeah, you just just your face 1500 01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:07,320 going. I did it in like Earth Room gym 1501 01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:09,080 in the corner and that's it. Like nothing else. 1502 01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,040 Like 3 seconds. Yeah, you'll know if you know. 1503 01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:13,920 You know if you know, you know one of those. 1504 01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:16,760 OK, so. Earth Room Gym 3D. 1505 01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:20,520 Earth Room, Gym 3D, everybody. With that said, we have a couple 1506 01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:24,120 of games coming up that we will be letting everybody know what 1507 01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:27,640 they are coming across in social media over the next couple of 1508 01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:28,600 months. We're going to try and plan 1509 01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:30,880 ahead and get a couple things at least you know, in line of what 1510 01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:32,880 we're going to play next. So stay tuned for that. 1511 01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:35,720 That'll be at Remember 64 Show or yourself at Jiggy. 1512 01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:37,880 Look back, we talked about Earth Room, Jim. 1513 01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,480 We talked about that you play through them and he did a video. 1514 01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:43,720 You have a lot of really big and awesome videos out right now, 1515 01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:45,680 including The Earth Room, Jim One. 1516 01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:49,480 What else is out there, Man, 'cause there's at least one, 1517 01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,320 there's at least one major one out there that I feel like we 1518 01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:53,920 should probably talk about or at least mention. 1519 01:19:56,280 --> 01:20:01,760 Two things happened. OK, so First off, I put out a 1520 01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:11,640 video I I was actually talking about Donkey Kong 64 on Twitter. 1521 01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:17,160 So I I I made a thing and I was like, oh, and our buddy from the 1522 01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:20,680 Still Loading podcast saw that tweet and he contacted me and 1523 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,440 was like, hey, I'm going to write an article about. 1524 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:27,440 Donkey Kong 64 and the collected on genre I'm like that's cool. 1525 01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:30,440 I was like I I love that and then I started talking about it 1526 01:20:30,440 --> 01:20:32,960 and then I'm like man I need to make another video about Donkey 1527 01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:36,600 Kong 64. And and I'm just like I just 1528 01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:41,240 need to defend it a little bit because I just see you know and 1529 01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:45,600 so I did and little did I know 20,000 views later that kind of 1530 01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:49,360 went mini viral and I was. I was and it's still growing. 1531 01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,960 I mean it literally like at the time of this recording it hasn't 1532 01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:53,760 even been out a week. It's been out a couple days, 1533 01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:56,240 three days or four days or whatever. 1534 01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:59,880 Beautiful. But I I kind of got pressured 1535 01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:02,240 in. I don't know if you've seen this 1536 01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:03,760 one. I got pressured in. 1537 01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:05,960 I've been planning this video for a long time and I've 1538 01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:11,000 mentioned it on the podcast, But Mapping the Rare Universe, this 1539 01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,760 was my most ambitious video. It was scheduled to release on 1540 01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:16,920 Friday. Kind of let Donkey Kong sit and 1541 01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:20,160 milk it out a little bit. But we had a Nintendo Direct 1542 01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:24,040 today and that ends, this is Wednesday the 21st. 1543 01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:25,680 We're recording this of February. 1544 01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:28,200 And so you see how fast Dave gets these out. 1545 01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:31,080 Yeah, some of them.

We we had an Nintendo Direct and 1547 01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,480 a bunch of rare stuff was announced and people on my 1548 01:21:36,480 --> 01:21:40,560 Discord were like, hey. Where's the rare? 1549 01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:44,120 Really, just put this video out because rare is a hot topic 1550 01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:46,920 right now. And when is it ever a hot topic 1551 01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:48,720 like this? You know, it's like people are 1552 01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:50,160 going to be searching for it.

Not I'm not even a day. 1556 01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:08,480 It's been out a couple hours and we're sitting at about 3, some 3 1557 01:22:08,480 --> 01:22:09,880 something thousand. Yeah. 1558 01:22:10,440 --> 01:22:14,640 So it's it's on track to be even more popular than the Donkey 1559 01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:16,400 Kong video, which I'm super stoked about. 1560 01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:21,240 It's starting a bit of a war on the comments, but I love that 1561 01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:24,400 it's super cool. It's I I'm super excited about 1562 01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:27,040 it. It's growing fast and I'm just 1563 01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:28,480 blown away. It's great, man. 1564 01:22:28,480 --> 01:22:30,400 Honestly, it's great. Like like I've said before in 1565 01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:33,640 the past, you know, this isn't just because because we're buds 1566 01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:34,920 and because you're on the show and all that. 1567 01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:37,240 Like it's it's good content. It is. 1568 01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:42,480 It is an in depth look at a lot of these games and an 1569 01:22:42,480 --> 01:22:47,280 interesting look at it a way that probably either hasn't been 1570 01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:49,920 looked at before or hasn't for a very long time. 1571 01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:53,640 Revisiting things is always great and it's not just these 1572 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,320 two, You got a bunch of that stuff right. 1573 01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:59,200 It's all across the board, so. You know, I had you on, I had 1574 01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,920 you on. We did a a really cool versus 1575 01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:05,800 video where we compared Mario Kart 64 to Diddy Kong Racing. 1576 01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:07,520 Kind of decided which one was better. 1577 01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:12,400 I think you probably know but we did it and because of these 1578 01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,840 videos that I've been putting out that video shot up like an 1579 01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:18,840 extra like 500 views so far and it's going to everything's going 1580 01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:21,480 to climb like it's super cool. I'm. 1581 01:23:21,480 --> 01:23:25,520 I'm seeing a a jump in everything and going to have you 1582 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:27,400 back on my stuff. Pretty soon I'm going to have to 1583 01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:31,400 do another another.

That's jiggy. 1589 01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:46,120 Look back on YouTube also the same name across social media 1590 01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:51,800 and for here remember 64 remember 64 show also on 1591 01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:53,440 Patreon. I just want to say if you've 1592 01:23:53,440 --> 01:23:55,120 made it this far into the episode, I want to say I'm going 1593 01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:57,360 to try and do a couple of new things on Patreon. 1594 01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:00,200 I'm going to put out free content on that. 1595 01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:04,000 I'm going to put out sub stack and things like that are sort of 1596 01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,720 like mini blog newsletter type things. 1597 01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,680 Every once in a while I'm going to write something down and just 1598 01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:14,080 do it either in a really short video or I'm going to do it in a 1599 01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:17,360 text form where I'm just going to talk about something within 1600 01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:19,200 the gaming world. Doesn't necessarily always have 1601 01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:23,440 to be retro that I'm playing. Have played a thought that I 1602 01:24:23,440 --> 01:24:24,920 have. It could be both like the 1603 01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:27,960 Nintendo Direct for example, things like that and it's going 1604 01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:30,200 to be something that's a little bit more bite sized and I'm 1605 01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:32,640 going to have it free so that everybody can see it and then 1606 01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:36,280 also have an easier access and connection to the stuff that is 1607 01:24:36,480 --> 01:24:40,320 behind the 1-2 or three dollar or five dollar paywall. 1608 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,080 Small paywalls anyways, but episodes early on 1609 01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:48,320 patreon.com/remember 64 show videos that are out that you 1610 01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:51,440 won't find on the YouTube channel and and some extra 1611 01:24:51,440 --> 01:24:53,080 content as well. So that's going to keep growing 1612 01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:56,480 and keep doing some more stuff. And also I've been trying to put 1613 01:24:56,480 --> 01:25:00,400 out some pre episode chats on that as well. 1614 01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:02,720 We had a little bit of one in this episode. 1615 01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,680 I put up one about the robot on Rocket robot on Wheels as well. 1616 01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,320 That's Patreon exclusive. So you can find that there. 1617 01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:12,440 But other than that, that is what's going to end us off here, 1618 01:25:12,440 --> 01:25:16,400 this time on Remember 64 Jiggy? Thanks for coming on this 1619 01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,520 adventure once again, the earthworm J3D. 1620 01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:21,360 This was an interesting an interesting journey. 1621 01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:26,120 I will say that the the pre show chats, I didn't know he was 1622 01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:30,120 doing that so you get a little bit of unfilteredness. 1623 01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:31,480 That's the idea, man. That's the. 1624 01:25:31,480 --> 01:25:34,280 Idea I'm pretty calm. I'm pretty calm and collective 1625 01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:37,400 when we're doing this podcast, but you know, you get passionate 1626 01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:39,880 about stuff. Hey man, that's all part of it. 1627 01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:41,680 And that's one of the reasons why I want to do that other 1628 01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:45,440 stuff to the sort of like mini text or short video stuff too, 1629 01:25:45,440 --> 01:25:49,200 is because I I will do those completely unfiltered and just 1630 01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:53,400 record it, put it up, write it, put it up, you know, you'll just 1631 01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:57,240 get the stream of consciousness type of thing so well. 1632 01:25:57,280 --> 01:25:58,960 You know what?

And I sing in like every single 1637 01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:12,440 one of the podcast episodes that I'm in. 1638 01:26:12,440 --> 01:26:15,640 So I had to do something.
